Under an hour away from football and in the middle of pregame NFL shows on FOX and ESPN simultaneously. It all inspires me to do a quick NFL preview on a few of this week's match-ups.
Giants vs Vikings It's weird, I'm rooting for both teams this season. Giants cuz I'm a big Warner fan, but watch Warner will prolly get sacked to hell and back again this week. Giants O-Line is one of the worst in the league right up there with Atlanta and Buffalo. But Warner has still managed to put on an impressive performance this year thus far throwing just only two interception the entire season in 7 games. Tho I'm going to have to give the nod to the Vikings this week, they're at home, and even with as many damaged goods they got (Moss, Bennett, Williams), the Vikes came prepared. Mwelde Moore is one of the hottest rookies this season, and Robinson and Burleson are doing an awesome job picking up the extra catches that Moss will be in his limited role this week. It'll be a close one as both team's defense isn't all that great, so I pick Vikes by a score of 24-17.
Eagles vs Ravens It's the battle of the videogame cover boys. Philly has been on fire this year, and even tho they almost lost a mighty close one to Cleveland last week, the McNabb-TO connection continues to be one of the hottest duos going this year. I don't cthe Ravens lose by a decent gap, 20-7.
Patriots vs Steelers I wanna order a Roethlisberger!!!! Probably the rookie QB who is having one of the best starting seasons since the legendary Dan Marino. Still, no matter how well Big Ben passes the ball and how much Bettis runs it, they still aren't good enough to top one of the best defenses in the NFL. True, the Super Bowl champs don't put that many points on the board, but still expect the Pats to win this won by a good margin, 17-6.
Falcons vs Broncos Just out of pure spite to all the Mike Vick lovers I hope the Broncos romp all over Falcons. I'm fed up of hearing all the "Vick can't mold into WC Offense" BS. After their first 4 straight wins, everyone was on the Vick bandwagon again with that bogus "Vick Experience" commercial, now two losses later, everyone is taking it all back. Yeah, Vick's gonna lose it, so there. I can't give an honest prediction for this, but for the hell of it I'll pick Denver going over by a score of 31-10.
49ers vs DA Bearz Yes, the main event, Sunday Night Prime Time. Ok, it may be one of the least anticipated SNFB match-ups this year, but I'm actually expecting my struggling Niners to pull out a victory here. The underrated Bears defense is starting to get healthy again with Urlacher back in the mix, but their QB situation is horrible, with them resorting to their third stringer to start this week's game as Chicago is definitely feeling the sting without Rex Grossman, and trading away their top two receivers in the offseason. It won't be that high scoring of a game, but expect the Niners to pull this one away, 10-0.
That's all, NFL Kickoff is in 20 minutes, lez see how well I do in my picks.
